Local Housing Market's Correction Continues

 451 residential properties exchanged hands last month through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) System of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR), 44% less than in November 2021. LSTAR Members' home sales included 336 single family homes, 64 condo townhouses, and 36 apartments - all significantly down from a year ago.

"In the last two years, the local housing market's frenzy was artificially fueled by the socio-economic climate of the pandemic. Now, that the socio-economic conditions are completely different, the local housing market is in correction mode," said Randy Pawlowski, 2022 LSTAR President. "The market is especially affected  by the Bank of Canada's interest rate hikes, which intensify buyer reluctance and weaken people's purchasing power," he added.

While residential transactions were at their lowest point in the last decade, the number of new listings climbed to 875 in November, a new record high for the eleventh month of the year. This increased the level of the local housing inventory, which sits now at 3.3 months.

"The housing demand is still high in our area, and with the increased levels of inventory, local Buyers have now more choices and time to shop for new homes. However, the uncertain economic conditions are keeping many prospective Buyers on the sidelines," Pawlowski observed.

Compared to a year ago, the average home price decreased, but remained higher than the figures seen in 2020 and before. LSTAR's overall average home price was $615,247 in November, 7.8% less than a year ago, but 13.8% higher than in November 2020. On the other hand, the composite MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price was $575,500 last month, 10% down from last year, and also 9.8% lower than in November 2020.

Bank Of Canada Increase Expected For December 7   The Bank of Canada brought its interest rate to 3.75% in November and the next decision comes December 7. It is expected that the Bank of Canada will increase the rates by either 25 or 50 basis points. There are many differing opinions of economists for either of those options so it is tough to say at this time which way things will go. This article below says that the Canadian bond market is currently pricing in an 88% chance of a 25 basis point increase but many bank economists expect a 50 basis point increase. We will have to wait and see on December 7.

Over 60% of broker of records across Canada expect a balanced market in 2023. The Canadian average for the market is estimated to decrease by 3.3% over 2023 which is essentially a levelling of prices over the year ahead. The report noted areas like Greater Vancouver Area and Greater Toronto Area expecting to see larger decrease like 10-15%. Interestingly though the larger cities in Atlantic Canada like Halifax and St. Johns are predicting they will see increases of 10-15%. Underlying all of these stats is the pride of home ownership that is still very high in Canada with over 70% of Canadians saying that real estate is the best long-term investment and that's very important. Combine this with the overall huge housing shortage our country is seeing makes for a bright future in the world of owning a home and watching that home grow value over time. Read the full report by clicking the link: https://blog.remax.ca/canadian-housing-market-outlook/?rmxv=1664296791 And more notable the Grand Bend 2023 Outlook Report: https://blog.remax.ca/grand-bend-housing-market-outlook/ Canada's Housing Market Is Correcting, Not Crashing   This article from Benjamin Tal, CIBC Deputy Chief Economist, say that the Canadian housing market is in correcting mode and not a crash. He portrays the situation as a simple reallocations of activity over time. Tal went on to say that, "We basically borrowed activity from the future because interest rates were low.". Tal goes on to say that there is a difference between the current market correction and previous cycles, namely the availability of supply. Tal said there is no panic in the housing market because there are no major issues in the labour market as of yet.

LSTAR's News Release for OCTOBER 2022

 

Rising Borrowing Costs Further Soften Local Home Sales

In October 2022, the MLS® System of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR) saw 975 new listings and 504 home sales. While October's new listings were on par with the average value recorded for the month of October throughout the last decade, the monthly home sales were at their lowest point in the last ten years.

"This year's successive increases in interest rates put a big dent in the local home sales activity and made the year-over-year price values plunge. However, it's not all bad news: LSTAR's sales-to-new listings ratio increased from 42.4% in September to 51.7% in October, which indicates a more balanced market. Moreover, the overall average home price in the London-St. Thomas region was a bit higher in October than during the previous month, increasing from $635,256 in September to $640,570 last month," said 2022 LSTAR President Randy Pawlowski.

Compared to a year ago, both the average home price and the composite MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price edged slightly down but remained higher than the figures seen in 2020 and before. LSTAR's overall average home price was $640,570 in October, 4.1% less than a year ago, but 21.7% higher than in October 2020. The composite MLS® HPI Benchmark Price sat last month at $584,200, 2.1% lower than last year, but 26.1% higher than in October 2020.

November Newsletter ~ The PEDLAR Team Update

 

Welcome to November!   Hope this newsletter finds you well and have been able to enjoy some of the sunshine we were lucky enough to get in October. The fall colours are in full force around this area and I am sure everyone has been busy trying to keep up with the leaves! We wanted to share this cute photo of Chloe (Mark's Oldest Daughter) helping Mark put up a SOLD sign at this gorgeous lakefront home we had listed just north of Grand Bend. Now that we have Halloween festivities and the municipal elections behind us let's see what is ahead of us in November! A common theme during the municipal election candidate debates was transparency and having the general publics voice heard. That being said here is an opportunity to have your say! The municipality is asking everyone to fill out this survey for deciding where the population sees a greater need. Click this link and take the survey today: https://www.lambtonshores.ca/en/news/2023-pre-budget-survey.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3Rvd2_ZJ40p-iJdRHb7CVp-F0YrHYQzhDMXKLi1Zm4u635oBOg3G53BeQ Next up is getting ready for Christmas! We are lucky enough to have a couple great spots for getting ready for the holidays. The Christmas Wonderland at Green Bucks Country Christmas Store is entering its second year of being open and they just opened back up mid October. Another great spot to go check out is at Westland Greenhouse Christmas Store! Both these are just south of Grand Bend and will definitely give you lots of great items to having your house looking perfect these holidays. Remembrance Day Ceremonies at 10:30am will be happening in Grand Bend Legion, Forest Cenotaph, Thedford Legion, Parkhill Legion, Exeter Cenotaph to name a few.

Items Can Be Dropped Off Nov 1 – Nov 30 We greatly appreciate everyone that gets involved and look forward to you coming by the office! Bank Of Canada Increase Benchmark Interest Rate By Another 50 Basis Points   As expected the Bank of Canada increased its benchmark interest rate. This time it increased by 50 basis points bringing the rate to 3.75%. After speaking with our CIBC mortgage advisor this means you can get a variable mortgage at 5.5% and fixed mortgages at 5.25-5.4%. You will see below a graph of the Bank of Canada benchmark rate over the years since 1940's. Many consumers keep saying that the mortgage rates are high! Well historically speaking they are still low! Check out the graph below and many people will remember the 15% - 20% mortgage rates in the late 80's. We were exposed to an unrealistic lending rate due to a global pandemic that is not normal reality. A balanced economy mortgage rate is between 4.5% - 5.5% and that's where we are! Don't let the media freak you out and take some time to discuss your options with an expert that can give you a view of reality. Call the PEDLAR Team today to discuss further at 519-238-5700! Re/MAX Activate: Quebec City   The PEDLAR Team went off for a Re/MAX Canada convention in Quebec City in mid October. It is always a great learning experience to hear from experts across the country so that we can come back and service our clients better! Another great part of attending these conventions is so that when our clients want to relocate we can connect you with someone we know and trust to have your best interests in mind. We met lots of awesome folks across Canada and most notably it was impressive how many generational families work under the Re/MAX balloon! Quebec City was very impressive this time of the year with changing colours along the St.Lawrence River. We need to freshen up our french a little more before going back but we still managed to have a great time and can not say enough good things about the food! Every restaurant had their own special touch to make every dish incredible.

This tax was aimed at non-residents purchasing homes and not living in them. This tax was originally was just for purchases in the Greater Toronto Area.
